FDR? The guy with all the Soviet spies working under him? The guy who had Alger Hiss by his side at Yalta?

FDR, the so-called great American president/dictator, who knew nothing of all the Soviet activities conducted stateside on his watch?

Just recently finished reading "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers. It was 800 pages, and the library copy I ordered was published in 1952. FDR was told about Hiss and the other cadre of Communists working in the US government from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s. He chose to do nothing, as Stalin was too important an ally in the fight against Hitler. Stalin used to be referred to as "Uncle Joe" during WW2 by us, how sick is that? The Venona Papers released in 1995 by the KGB confirmed the identity of the Soviet agents in DC in that time period, and vindicated both Chambers and McCarthy.
